Errant medical aid societies should be dealt with once and for all

I GOT the shock of my life when Harare Municipal Medical Aid Society (HMMAS) called me on Tuesday afternoon to inform me of the impending payment of ZWL$300 000 the only payment to be made after 8 months.

I figured out how on earth a medical aid society would boast of paying an equivalent of US$30 and then expect us as medical practitioners to continue entertaining it?

Dividing that figure by twelve months gives an average of US$2,50 a month, an abominable amount that pushes us to think if it is even worth accepting such a medical aid society.
